Publisher's summary

Imogen Waterstone has always prided herself on being a thoroughly independent young woman, but now she needs a man of implacable will and nerves of iron. That's why she invited Matthias Marshall, infamous Earl of Colchester, to her home in Upper Strickland. Who better than the legendary explorer to help her lay the perfect trap?

Her scheme is simple, really: She plans to let it be known that when she inherited her uncle's collection of antiquities, she also inherited a map to a fabulous ancient treasure. She's sure that her enemy would risk financial ruin in pursuit of the mythical artifact. And to make doubly sure the scoundrel took the bait, she wants Colchester to pretend that he's out to seduce Imogene so that he, too, could get his hands on her map.

Yet in all of her plotting, Imogene never anticipates Colchester's violent reaction to her request or her own electrifying reaction to him. Neither does she expect that a malevolent threat would emerge from the labyrinth of London - sinister enough to endanger her and Colchester's lives.

Too short

It was too simple. The thriller part is almost inexistent. The unabridged book was very good but this version...

narrative killed the story line

the narrative was not the greatest and then the music that they placed in was horrible. i have read the book and the narrative did not give the story line justice. my opinion, read the book and not the audio version

Annoying Music

I didn’t like the music that played on and off during each chapter. It totally ruined the mood

good story, poor audio

the performance was good, and even though too much of the story was edited (to the point the characters were just shells of what they were in print) the story was compelling. the biggest issue was the quality of the audio. it was tinny she distracting
